My principal research interests lie in the fields of biogeochemistry, chemical oceanography, and paleoceanography. The goal of my research is to use the chemical and isotopic records enclosed in wide range of earth materials to study present and past biogeochemical processes. This research spans a wide range of temporal (seasons to millions of years) and spatial (molecular to global) scales. An over-arching aspiration of this research is to understand the processes and feedbacks operating in the Earth System and how they relate to global changes in climate and tectonics. In addition, I am interested in natural and anthropogenically induced perturbations that affect biogeochemical processes and their impact on humans and the environment. I am also engaged in STEM education and public outreach to providing professional development opportunities to students of all ages and expand science literacy.
